Can I own one here
Owning one in Mississippi County.
On your own land, yes
Owning a kei truck and working it on a ranch, a farm, a mine or private property does not depend on a road title. Some states still ask for a title or an off road registration.
A 25 year truck on the road
Road use with limits. Arkansas registers a mini truck only as a farm vehicle. Once registered it may use roads posted 55 mph or less that are not interstates or controlled access highways, where it can keep up with the posted speed.
A newer governed truck
Farm use. The mini truck definition sets size, weight and equipment with no speed term, so on its face it reaches a governed truck that carries the listed equipment.
Roads and towns
Roads and towns in Mississippi County.
To confirm. Arkansas bars an ATV or recreational off-highway vehicle from every public street and county road in Mississippi County apart from farm and hunting trips between fields and direct crossings, and no county or town act opening one was read. A kei truck registers as a farm plated mini-truck, which is not an ATV, and may use roads posted 55 mph or less.

How to import a mini truck, step by step.
A newer off road truck never lands in California. It comes in through Tacoma or by way of Houston.
Trucks travel in containers, one to a 20 foot box with room for parts or three to a 40 foot box.
Road miles are an estimate, the straight line times 1.2.
The ground
Mississippi County, counted.
Farms in Mississippi County hold 4,377 acres of woodland. Mississippi County is mostly urban, with 46 percent of its people outside urban areas. Mississippi County has 268 farms and 23 cattle operations, by the 2022 Census of Agriculture.
Importing a kei truck
The essentials, in short.
A truck under 25 can come in only as governed off road equipment, and only if its engine family held an EPA nonroad certificate for that model year. No kei engine family was certified for mini trucks before model year 2010, so a truck built after 31 October 2001 and before model year 2010 has no federal door until its 25th birthday.
Two lanes
A road truck must be 25 years old by its own build date. A newer truck comes in only as governed off road equipment with a certified engine.
The 25 percent duty
Every kei truck pays the 25 percent truck duty at the port, whatever its age.
The paperwork
The customs entry and the two federal declarations, DOT Form HS-7 and EPA Form 3520-1, travel with the truck to your title office.
The title
Keep every stamped paper with the truck. Your state title office asks to see them.
